Planting & Care

Sow Costa Silver Snapdragon seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a cool, bright location.

After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and plant them outdoors in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier plants and more flower spikes. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Costa Silver Snapdragon is generally low-maintenance and rarely troubled by pests or diseases when grown in good conditions.
